"From 18:00 yesterday to 00:00 today, the Russian army opened fire 387 times and attacked 19 times. The Russians used drones 290 times," Zelensky said, citing updated frontline data.
He emphasized that Russia is attempting to create the illusion of a general ceasefire while simultaneously advancing and inflicting losses on Ukraine.
Referring to a report by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrsky, Zelensky said Russian forces had already carried out 59 shelling incidents and five attacks in different directions on the front line.
